Homework for B-Day Students - 11/19/2014 - PLC Day

Happy Half Day Everyone!

Here are your reminders as you prepare for Friday's class.

AP English III
Make sure that you are following through on your reading deadlines on the bookmark I gave you today. Especially make sure that you meet the deadlines after Thanksgiving Break and after Winter Break. Don't allow yourself to fall behind in your reading; this is a fun and fast paced novel, allow yourself to get lost in it and enjoy it.

By Friday make sure that you're to the end of chapter six and that you have completed the reading of "Mother Tongue" available at the link in the previous B-day post.

English II
The most important thing that you all have to be working on right now is your project to finish Persepolis. Please make sure that you are now in the drafting phase - you should be creating your comic, writing dialogue and narration, and drawing your various scenes. Remember the requirements on the project sheet: no more than two sheets of paper maximum!

As it says in the post below, start to plan your presentation on your comic. For this presentation, focus on explaining why you drew something the way that you drew it. How does your drawing help you to explain more than words alone?
